If you are concerned about the current CPW management strategy for mule deer with late rifle season dates plus the increase in tags I would urge you to review the Northwest Colo mule deer management plan and submit comments by the December 22 deadline to [email protected]

Serious question - does CPW actually consider public comments? Anyone know of any examples?

I know the DOW used to get data from the RMBS volunteers who baby sat herds, but that’s all I know of.

I’m not convinced they should.

It only takes a couple minutes to write and email comments. If they are over-whelmed by negative comments related to their current strategy hopefully it will catch their attention!

If there are only a few comments then status quo will likely happen!

You realize they “farmed out” the public interface with the woof reintroduction?

I just wonder if they have someone filter these comments too.

Looking at their elk recommendations for the southwest is depressing. They are totally happy, gonna continue with 15 bulls per 100 cows in my area. Until they limit all elk tags, that won’t change. I will email them but won’t hold my breath.
